Filthy onsight , cheated and used the massive foothold halfway up Nailsbane then put in the worst z- clipped protection ever, then floundered upwards stubbornly like a dying walrus putting in a big cam the wrong way round and setting up a stupidly positioned belay in a stupid manner. But i didn't fall off so fuck yeah.

Came out on the freshers trip to meet everyone, absolutely shattered out of 6 consecutive days of getting drunk and being hungover, didn't fancy much but had to prove I was a competent climber so seconded Becca up this which is actually a really nice route, not very strenuous just a nice balancy crack with a tricky topout.

Clmbed it in snow. Half way up, I was determined not to give in. I reluctantly lowered off and was near hypothermic. Attempted the route again the next day, but didn't get it done for another few years. That must be some kind of record for a 30ft VDiff.
